Metal Mouth Message Board

Hiya all, I'm super super excited, I just got told that my expander is coming off 1 month early - it's only 4.5 days until the sucker is gone, I think it's even more exciting than going to Bali with some of my mates in June (sorry friends, luv ya but the expander is in my mouth 24/7)..... :jump: It'...

Woohoo, they're finally on, didn't know top and bottoms were going on at the same time but they did, kinda glad tho, sooner they are on the sooner I can see an improvement. I'm 37 years old but really glad that I'm finally doing it than waiting til I get older and wish I did it years ago. I already ...

Hiya Coconutqueen, I had to wait a few hours until they were open and then had to wait for someone to call me back, I eventually received a text last night to say it was called a SEP and it was there to help stabilise my RME...(not sure how tho) crossing my fingers that nothing happens while I'm at ...

I can't stop it happening, it's like my tongue has a mind of it's own..... I haven't got my wires yet but have my brackets on top and bottom and had an expander on the...

Awesome, you get it off soon - I can't wait for that last month. I've noticed that there are different expanders, I saw one that I think may be an older type, in the middle it's more like a spring coil and then there's the one that I've got which is a bit of a rectangle one with a number written on ...

Hiya, I have my expander for about 5-6 months I get my wires in on 4 December after they take ANOTHER tooth out..... but, I figure the result is going to be awesome so that helps me get through it all, oh, and pain killers they help too.

Hi, I've had my lingual brackets on my top and bottom teeth for a few weeks and I've recently had an expander put in aswell, so feeling pretty sorry for myself right now. I'm handling it pretty well tho (I think), but, I don't have the wires on my top or bottom teeth yet, don't think I'm looking for...
